It’s been a bloody weekend in New York City with at least 49 people shot from Thursday to Saturday:

And this remarkable increase in violence is the fault of President Trump, at least according to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo:
This past weekend of urban America's summer of love included more than a 600% increase of shooting victims in New York City in comparison to this weekend last year.
And who is to blame? According to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, it's President Trump.

You mean the BLM mural in front of Trump Tower didn’t work?
Perhaps they need to paint bigger yellow letters on the road? https://t.co/R1aZbE9n60

And we look forward to AOC again blaming the violence on people just trying to feed their families:
Bread stealing.
